eHealth Innovation Centre
Welcome to the eHealth Innovation Centre (EIC). We are a part of the Department of Health Sciences at Luleå University of Technology.
We work to find smart new eHealth solutions, together with the Norrbotten County Council and the municipalities of Luleå, Piteå and Boden in cooperation with Luleå University of Technology. Our mission is to find regional partners for our innovative solutions and to nurture these solutions.
The EIC creates innovative products, services and processes that are firmly rooted in a unique research environment that combines the health sciences, computer science and electrical engineering. It has strong track record in international research projects, and focuses on industrial growth and products.
The EIC is recognized internationally as a center of excellence in the areas of health and wellbeing, where information and communication technology (ICT) is used to bring the best possible care to people at home or wherever they need to be.
To support innovative ideas, we allocate resources and, to some extent, funding in collaboration with our existing partners. Ideas may come from researchers, creative innovators, and nursing and healthcare staff. We also support regional businesses working within eHealth.
Our website offers information about our operations and about both completed and ongoing projects. If you have a smart idea within eHealth, do not hesitate to contact us. Call the research manager or the director at EIC or send a brief description to info.eic@ltu.se.
